Phish Reunion Tour Dates

On the heels of a three-night stand in early March in Hampton, Va., Phish has confirmed a host of additional tour dates this summer, its first since splitting in 2004. The tour begins June 4-5 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, N.Y..

The group is strongly rumored to be performing for the first time at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn., which will be held June 11-14. The lineup for the event will be announced Feb. 3.

Meanwhile, Phish is looking back to its landmark 1996 concert the Clifford Ball, held on a decommissioned Air Force base in Plattsburgh, N.Y. The entire event, encompassing six sets and nine hours of music, will be released as a seven-DVD set on March 3 through Phish's Dry Goods merchandise arm.

The package includes soundcheck footage, Phish's late-night jam on the back of a flatbed truck and a 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary. Fans who pre-order from Dry Goods will receive two original entry wristbands from Clifford Ball and a balsa wood glider. Other original memorabilia will be randomly inserted into 1,500 orders.

In addition, each pre-order will be entered to win a pair of tickets to all three Hampton shows.

Are Phish headlining Bonnaroo? There’s been no official announcement yet, but rumors have been swirling for weeks. And with details about the band’s reunion tour showing up on Billboard.com today, the possibility of Phish taking over Manchester, Tennessee, for the rumored two-night stand is looking more and more likely. As I take a gander at their relatively short list of dates, there seems to be a very curious week-long break in between gigs in North Carolina and Missouri — hey, Tennessee is even located between those two states — smack dab in the middle of the tour. Now you might say, “Well, these guys are a little older now and they might need a break. They haven’t done this in five years!” To that I say, “Shenanigans!”

I’d be willing to bet my limited-edition Phish bobble-head dolls that this “break” will indeed actually be the band’s headlining spot at Bonnaroo. First off, Red Light Management, who helped establish the festival, is also Phish’s new management company. Think about it: They have one of the biggest touring acts in the country as clients (Phish) and they are co-founders of one of the biggest festivals in the country (Bonnaroo). Do the math!

Additionally, in a recent interview with Burlington Free Press, bassist Mike Gordon opened up about the band’s future. “Now it’s like, maybe we don’t have to have our own festival to make great music. We don’t have to do that, and maybe we can be even more a part of the music industry than we were before rather than separate from it.”

So while it hasn’t been officially announced (and won’t be until February 3, when the initial lineup is released), it’s looking very much like Phish’s next festival will be named “Bonnaroo.”

Complete and utter chaos. I forget what year it was but it was one of their last tours, after 2000 for sure, and there were way more people who wanted to see Phish than the venue could capacitate. A few hundred people who didn't have tickets stormed the gates. I don't know how many people got hurt, but it wasn't too bad as far injuries. It was just out of control. I think they were temporarily banned. Their ten year ban from Red Rocks just ended a couple years ago, 96-2006.
